LPG conversion models EFEP916

A conversion kit is included with the product for Universal LPG usage.

The conversion kit contains 5 or 7 injectors (refer to LPG conversion

table) and 1 LPG sticker.

Please follow the procedure below if a conversion to suit UNIVERSAL

LPG is required:

1. Remove the hotplate trivets, burner caps and burner crowns to

access the hotplate injectors. Replace the factory fitted injectors

with the appropriate injectors, as supplied. Refer to injector orifice

table for injector sizes. The injector size is stamped on the side of the

injector.

2. Unscrew the top hat nut from the regulator. The top hat nut and control

pressure spring assembly will disengage as an assembly.

3. Unscrew the threaded pin from top hat.

4. Upturn threaded pin, so spring is free and screw pin back into the

top hat until firm.

5. Refit the top hat nut assembly to the regulator ensuring that it is

fully screwed down. The regulator is now set for connection to LPG.

6. Turn on the gas supply and at each new connection check for

leaks using soapy water. Each hotplate valve should be turned

on, one at a time, and the injector hole blanked off for several

seconds.

7. The operation of the regulator can be confirmed by connecting

a manometer to the pressure test point located on the side of the

regulator body adjacent to the outlet.

With the appliance operating check the outlet pressure:

• when all burners of the appliance are operating at maximum,

• when the smallest burner of the appliance is operating at

minimum.

Under these conditions the outlet pressure should not vary from

the nominal outlet pressure of 2.60kPa by more than ±0.52kPa.

8. If the regulator appears to not be performing satisfactorily then

check the following points:

• If the outlet pressure is consistently too low then the inlet

pressure may be too low and adjustment of an upstream

regulator may be needed, or an upstream regulator or valve

with insufficient flow capacity may be present in the gas supply

line. If this is suspected then it may be necessary to repeat the

checks whilst measuring both the inlet and outlet pressure to

determine if the inlet pressure is in the range

2.75 – 7.00kPa.

• Check that the insert has been fitted correctly.

• Check that the turret screw is fully screwed down.

• Check that the regulator has been fitted to the gas supply line

in the correct orientation, the arrow on the base of the body

indicates the direction of gas flow.

Once these checks have been completed, if the regulator still fails to

perform in a satisfactory manner it should be replaced.

9. One by one, turn the knobs to minimum and screw in the bypass

screw (accessible when the knob is removed) until a small stable

flame results. Turn the knob to maximum and then back to

minimum to ensure that the correct minimum flame is maintained.

10. Attach the LPG sticker to the cooker, near the gas supply inlet.

Cover the Natural Gas label that is factory fitted.

Checking piping size

To work out a suitable pipe size for connection use the information in

this table:

Model Natural gas Universal LPG

EFEP916 59.2 MJ/h 44.9 MJ/h

For information and requirements about construction and capacity

of consumer piping refer to AS/NZS 5601 series of standards.

Gas connection

Read these points before connecting to the gas supply:

• The appliance is preset for natural gas use. If LPG is

to be used see Conversion to LPG section.

• Gas installation must be made in accordance with AS/NZS 5601,

the local gas ﬁtting regulations, municipal codes and other

statutory regulations.

• The gas connection point is a ½” BSP external thread located at

the rear of the appliance as shown.

• A regulator is supplied which must be ﬁtted to the appliance.

Ensure that when ﬁtted the pressure test point of regulator is

accessible.

• The regulator is to be ﬁtted to the manifold inlet at the rear of the

appliance and the connection thread is sealed using a tape or

jointing compound suitable for gas connections. The consumer

piping is then connected to the inlet of the regulator, either:

1 directly, or

2 using a hose assembly and in accordance with Clause

6.10.1.9 of AS 5601.1 (High level connection) together with

the supplied elbow. The elbow is fitted to the inlet of

the regulator and oriented to allow the hose to hang

downwards. The connection thread between the regulator

and elbow is sealed using a tape or jointing compound

suitable for gas connections.

NOTE: You MUST test the cooker after installation, before you hand it over

to the customer. You MUST have a manometer and a connecting tube.

Testing the operation of the gas cooker

Checking gas supply

1. Check the manometer zero point is correct.

2. Connect the manometer to the cooker pressure test point. This is

located on the regulator or LPG inlet fitting.

3. Turn on the gas supply and the electricity and try to ignite the gas.

NOTE: It will take additional time to light the gas for the first time as air

needs to be purged from the pipes.

4. Check the operating pressure for the particular gas type.

Checking the function of the regulator

With the appliance operating check the outlet pressure:

• when all burners of the appliance are operating at maximum,

• when the smallest burner of the appliance is operating at minimum.

Under these conditions the outlet pressure should not vary from the

nominal outlet pressure by more than ±20% of the nominal outlet

pressure (ie ±0.20kPa for Natural Gas).

If the regulator appears to not be performing satisfactorily then check

the following points.

1. If the outlet pressure is consistently too low then the inlet pressure

may be too low and adjustment of an upstream regulator may be

needed, or an upstream regulator or valve with insufficient flow

capacity may be present in the gas supply line. If this is suspected

then it may be necessary to repeat the checks whilst measuring both

the inlet and outlet pressure to determine if the inlet pressure is in the

range 1.13 – 5kPa.

2. Check that the regulator has been fitted to the gas supply line in the

correct orientation, the arrow on the base of the body indicates the

direction of gas flow.

Once these checks have been completed, if the regulator still fails to

perform in a satisfactory manner it should be replaced.

Testing the cooker features

• Observe the flame appearance on each burner. If it is much smaller

or larger than expected, then the injector size needs checking.

NOTE: When flame is unsatisfactory, then refer to the Electrolux

Technical Publications and correct the fault, if possible.

When maximum flame appearance is correct, then check the turn-

down setting on each burner. If the settings appear to be incorrect,

proceed as follows:

1. Adjust the bypass screw mounted on the body of each hotplate

control cock. This is accessible when the control knob and the

control panel are removed.

2. Check the ignition on all burners both separately and in

combination.

3. Check the operation of the electrical components, if applicable.

4. If you are satisfied that the cooker is operating correctly, then turn

it off and show the customer how to use it. Make sure you ask the

customer to operate the clock and controls.

NOTE: If the cooker cannot be adjusted to perform correctly, then

inform the customer of the problem and put a warning notice on the

cooker. If the problem is dangerous, then disconnect the cooker. If

there is a fault, then the customer should be advised to contact the

manufacturer’s local service organisation or the retailer.
